The beginning of PROCRASTINATION is originated from LAZINESS.
Not all WAEC candidates are dull is just that they don’t know what to do when it comes to reading a particular subject.
The plight most face is that it gives them weariness, confusion, laziness, and procrastination once they sight those topics.
In a situation where they have too much to do before the day of the examination.
They felt too lazy to start, and they don’t know where to start, how to start, and when to end.
Even before being tagged as WAEC candidates, some students have to cultivate the habit of reading culture.
If such a student can’t do that, there is no assurance that he/she will read the subjects.
Although, their willingness to read might be retarded since the subjects’ wideness scared them and made them feel too bored.
However, out of the subjects they are meant to read, a particular issue has been picked, and a topic has been labeled as ‘AREAS OF CONCENTRATION FOR WAEC GOVERNMENT 2020‘.
To some likely vulnerable candidates to this unpalatable act written above should endeavor to develop the habit of reading culture and take notes of every point written in this article.
As a WAEC candidate, try to focus on the topics segmented into two sections in the theory.
